TO GO WITH Japan-vote-dynasties,FOCUS by Kyoko Hasegawa Shinjiro Koizumi (L), the son of charismatic former premier Junichiro Koizumi, runs to greet and shake hands with supporters as he campaigns ahead of the August 30 general election in Yokosuka, in Kanagawa prefecture, suburban Tokyo on August 25, 2009. When the elder Koizumi last year announced he would not contest his Diet seat again, he apologised to supporters for his "blind parental love" and then urged them to support his 28-year-old son and anointed successor.
